Los Angeles-based Trey Xavier is a solo heavy metal project dating back to 2016, encompassing a wide stylistic range under the metal umbrella — fitting for a city where genre lines are often treated as suggestions. The project has the character of a personal document more than a band proper.
Yonkers, New York death/thrash outfit Trez Muertoz formed in 2025, bringing a fresh entry to the brutal overlap between the two styles with a name that wears its grimy aesthetics on its sleeve. As one of the newer acts in the New York extreme metal underground, they carry the confrontational energy the city's scene demands.
Scorching Atmospheric Black Metal / Ambient from Texas (early); Baltimore, Maryland (later).
Baltimore atmospheric black metal and ambient project Trhä emerged in 2020 as a deeply solitary exercise in icy, cavernous sound — the kind of music that feels less performed than summoned. With no fixed state listing and a minimal footprint, Trhä cultivates an air of deliberate obscurity that suits the bleakness of the style.
Tri State Corner are a boundary-crossing rock act with members from Germany, Poland, and Greece, distinguished by their innovative fusion of hard rock with the traditional Greek bouzouki. Over 600 live shows across 22 countries on three continents, the band has shared stages with Evanescence, Nightwish, and Accept, and worked with multi-platinum producers Fabio Trentini and Tony Bongiovi. Their trilogy of albums 'Historia,' 'Home,' and 'Hero' tells the band's multinational story through a unique lens of Mediterranean-inflected rock and roll.
Instrumental heavy metal duo from São Paulo, formed in 2004 by guitarist Lincoln Ladeia and drummer Wagner Krüger.
